Hanging Upside Down

They grew up close together…sharing laughter…sharing frowns playing in their backyards…hanging upside-down. The world was oh so different then, as they hung so effortlessly It was a simpler, uncomplicated time…more innocent and free. A time when all that children needed to do was laugh and sing and play when hanging upside down…unimpeded…they would sway. For they were making memories…no future memory would surpass As they hung there…upside down…or ran barefoot in the grass. And as they look back at this picture now…it’s those memories they see awakening from a place where they shall always be… And when thy close their eyes to remember…that certain time…that certain year sometimes it brings a smile…sometimes it brings a tear Because they realize how lucky they are to have shared a life time of laughter and of frowns… from a friendship that began so man-years ago while hanging upside down.
